Default sad day ,went down

Stupid cager making a right turn decided to come to a complete stop instead of turning. no brake light no signal and to the left by the yellow line, tried my best to get around but my front wheel caught the back bumper,the did my superman impression.Broke a bunch of ribs cracked skull and broken eye orbital. very little road rash which surprised me. Insurance guy is supposed to look at the bike tomorrow. I think its totaled the only painted part thats not F-ed up is the tank!

Sorry for your woes, but if you have time there was a post last week about a riders "card being pulled". I can't find it right now but it is full of great advice about what to do after an accident, (Including advice by lawyers and adjusters)

Hope things go better.

Sucks to be you. However, You can be healed as your bike can be replaced. Let the rest of us know how you'd make out with your Insurance.

Good Luck,
